Peppa Pig accessories heading to retail

Official peripherals for smash hit kids’ franchise Peppa Pig are to arrive at retail later this month.

Blue Ocean, the accessories division of Koch Media UK, has entered into a partnership with P2 Games and E1 Entertainment to develop accessories for the Nintendo DS.

The first item to be available is a fully-branded Peppa Pig accessory pack which will include a robust carry case, a soft screenwipe, and larger sized stylus to make gaming easier for smaller hands.

The accessory pack will be available from November 28th.

Koch UK MD Craig McNicol said: “Peppa Pig has been adored by children since it first aired in 2004, making it a perfect licence to appeal to the younger gaming audience.”

Co-director of P2 Games Gerry Whiteside added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Koch UK on this very exciting project. The Blue Ocean brand is now well established in the UK and already offers consumers a great range of quality and value for money accessories.

“We wanted only the best for Peppa and her family. I believe that through our collaboration we have achieved this by producing an amazing pack that is sure to be on this year’s Christmas list for kids.”

P2 Games has also published a No.1 Peppa Pig DS game, as well as a forthcoming Wii game.
